Our first children\u2019s editorial line popped into shape!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2021, when Popcorn English was just two years old, I recorded a video about a dream I had been carrying with me for a long time, starting with:<\/p>\n

\u201cI truly believe I came into the world to share what I\u2019m passionate about with others, and especially with kids: they are our future!\u201d.

That dream was bigger than a language school.<\/span><\/p>\n

I imagined a detective named DD, Detective Digoncelli, a cheerful and determined character who would turn learning English into an adventure, <\/strong><\/span>adding fun, joy and lightness to it.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DD reminds children that every problem takes patience to solve!
\n<\/span><\/span>The road from A to B isn\u2019t always straight. It’s winding, bumpy, with challenges, and then you come to the solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I shared this idea with Francesca, everything suddenly came to life.
\n<\/span><\/strong>She designed DD with her iconic yellow raincoat, two brown braids and distinctive mask-shaped eyes, and gave the entire cast their unique popcorn-shaped heads<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, we turned a simple idea into the world of DD<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Parents:<\/h2>\n

With the DD series, children are taking part in a story.
\nThe mystery format encourages curiosity<\/strong>, attention<\/strong> to detail and independent thinking<\/strong>.<\/span>
\nThe QR-codes add audio and video contents to connect written and spoken English<\/strong>.<\/span>
\nYou can support children by asking simple questions such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • What happened in this chapter?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Who do you think is suspicious?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Which clue did you find?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
